1. Which Trade Barrier Would You Recommend?
The Canadian Pear Growers Association is concerned about increased competition from imported
pears that are larger than those grown within Canada’s borders. The Association wants to lobby for a
trade barrier.
Some members think a tariff or quota would be most beneficial. Others disagree and suggest an
embargo would be best.
The president of the association must send a letter to the membership explaining which trade barrier
(tariff, quota, or embargo) she thinks would help the Canadian growers achieve their goal to reduce
competition from imported pears. She wants your advice.
Which trade barrier would you recommend? Explain how this barrier will help the pear growers
achieve their goal.
Dear Ms. President of the Pear Growers Association,
